3.16.7-ckt22 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: David Gstir <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 79960943fdc114fd4583c9ab164b5c89da7aa601 upstream. Using non-constant time memcmp() makes the verification of the authentication tag in the decrypt path vulnerable to timing attacks. Fix this by using crypto_memneq() instead.
